What is the impact of currency unions on fdi flow?: evidence from eurozone countries.
South-Eastern Europe Journal of Economics
K Aristotelous and S Fountas
2012 This paper investigates the effect of EMU on inward FDI flows to the Eurozone using panel data from 22 OECD countries for the period 1973-2006. The empirical findings suggest that the EMU led to a statistically significant overall increase in inward FDI flows to countries that adopted the euro as their national currency. They also show that the EMU effect on inward FDI flows differs substantially across member countries.
What is the effect of EMU on Greece's exports to the Eurozone
South-Eastern Europe Journal of Economics
Kyriacos Aristotelous
2008 This paper investigates the effect of EMU on Greece’s exports to Eurozone countries in the context of a generalized gravity model using panel data between Greece and twenty-one developed countries from 1981 2005. The dynamic panel model is estimated using Hansen’s two-step Generalized Method of Moments estimator. The results suggest that the EMU has led to a decrease in Greek exports to Eurozone countries. That decrease is statistically different than zero. The paper also finds empirical evidence that shows that the negative EMU effect on Greece’s exports to Eurozone is most likely due to a loss in Greece’s competitiveness in Eurozone markets.
Do Currency Unions Affect Foreign Direct Investment? Evidence from US FDI Flows into the European Union
Economic Issues, Vol. 10, Part 2
Kyriacos Aristotelous
2005 This paper investigates the effect of EMU on US FDI flows into the European Union using panel data from fifteen EU countries for the period 1966-2003. The empirical findings suggest that EMU had a positive and statistically significant impact on US FDI flows into the twelve countries that adopted the euro as their national currency. The increase in US FDI flows into the EU-12 was not accompanied, however, by a decrease in US FDI flows into the three EU countries that opted out of adopting the euro as their national currency.
The Impact of the Exchange Rate Regime on Exports: Evidence from Bilateral Exports in the European Monetary System
Journal of Economic Integration
Kyriacos Aristotelous and Stilianos Fountas
2000 By employing the techniques of multivariate cointegration and error-correction models, we investigate the impact of the creation of the European Monetary System (EMS) on the exports of the four largest EU countries to each other. Our findings suggest that the impact of the EMS on bilateral intra-EU exports has been mixed. The EMS boosted bilateral trade in the cases of Germany's exports to Italy and Italy's exports to the UK. The EMS had a negative effect on the volume of exports between France and Germany in both directions. The EMS had no significant impact on export volumes in the majority of bilateral trade relationships examined.
